The World Bank changed forecasts for the Polish economy. The latest report has been published

“Stronger economic expansion in the EU should help keep economic growth in Central Europe broadly stable at around 2.5 percent in 2027-28,” the World Bank said in its latest report.

As explained, in Poland the growth rate will slow down from 3.6 percent in 2026 to an average of 2.8 percent. in 2027-2028. This change is to take place "as the disbursement of KPO funds comes to an end and the slower growth in real wages reduces household consumption."

The World Bank forecasts that next year Polish GDP will increase by 2.9%, and in 2028 by 2.7%. Back in June, these forecasts were 2.6%. for next year and 2.9 percent for 2028.

What is GDP and what does its growth mean?

GDP, i.e. gross domestic product, is – to put it very simply – the value of everything produced and sold in a given country during a year. These include both material things (e.g. food, clothes, home appliances and electronics...) and services (a visit to the hairdresser, car repairs, a train ticket or a programmer's job, etc.).
